POST-WAR UNREST
DECLARED NATURAL
Christianity Will Win Out,
Avers Rev. W. T. McElveen.
ARMY OF U. S. LAUDED
Flij-iral and Moral Disease Al
most Eliminated From Sol
diers, Declares Pastor.
"The natal day of Jesus was really
the moral birthday of mankind," said
Dr. W. T. McElveen in his Christmas
sermon yesterday morning at the
First Congregational church. His text
was from the old prophecy of Isaiah.
"And of the increase of his govern
ment there shall be no end."
Dr. McElveen applied the statement
to the present time. He said: "We
are living In a critical time. Civiliza
tion Is In a bad way. Unrest Is every
where. The war ended more than a
year ago, but our dreams of a new
and better day have not been realized.
Autocracy has been condemned, yet
men hesitate about extending democ
racy. Nationalism of the old. restrict
ed, narrow kind has been found want
ing, yet many are seemingly reluc
tant to put into operation a sane and
sensible internationalism.
"But Christianity has not been de-
iwieu. avBrj Dig war in nunian nis
tory has been followed by a period
of demoralization.
"Our day Is more intolerable to
ward unnecessary and preventable
evils. During the war we fought not
only the Hun. We fought disease and
lust. In all other wars more soldiers
ilied of disease .than of wounds. In
all other wars gross Immorality on
t"he part of the soldiers was acqui
esced in as one of the necessary ac
companiments of war. But in this
war physical and moral disease was
almost eliminated. This war was in
these respects a clean war. Never
was there a healthier or purer army
than the army America sent to Eu
rope." DIRE FORECASTS ARE FLAYED
Dr. F. L. Wemct t Brands Cataclysm
Predictions as False.
"The distressing thing about these
periodic prognostications of an im
pending world cataclysm is that so
many persons appear to take them
seriously." said Or. Frank L. Wemett.
p-istor of the Centenary Methodist
church, yesterday morning. His sub
ject was "The Babe of Bethlehem and
the World's Tomorrow."
"Contemplation of the babe of Beth
lehem works a cure for morbidness,"
he said. "By the gift of his son God
joined the destinies of heaven and
earth with a tie of blood. Christ is
not the captain of a sinking ship.
"The notion piously entertained by
some good folks that the human race
is predestined to destruction is with
out warrant of scripture, nor does it
comport with the character and pur
pose of Jehovah as these are revealed
In the teachings of the man of Gali
lee. If I believed such a dismal doc
trine I think I would be ashamed to
declare it. God's beneficent design
is as broad and deep as the need of
humanity. Ho has provided both a
savior for the individual and a re
demptive programme for society. His
Jpractous spirit is everywhere active
I today lifting us to a higher experience
of manhood and leading the race on
ward toward an all-embracing com
'munity of good will. 'He will not fail
Jnor be discouraged till he hath set
Justice In the earth.'
t "Thin is a wonderful day. Earth's
millions are waking out of sleep.
Conditions are plastic. Old ideas and
customs are running into new molds.
Changes freighted with tremendous
destiny are everywhere taking place.
Men of faith and vision are needed to
guide the faltering steps of humanity
through this transition period that
the creeds and systems of tomorrow
shall be better than those of yes
terday." TRUE GIVING
IS
LAUDED
'Man Who Would Abolish Christ
mas" Dr. Pence's Subject.
Refining influences, which touch
the human heart at Christmas time,
were praised by Dr. Edward H. Pence,
pastor of Westminster Presbyterian
church, in his sermon last night on
'The Man who Would Abolish Christ
mas." "Of course, he played the fool the
man who tried to abolish Christmas
by annihilating Its founder," said Dr.
Ponce. "Wo execrate his memory as
an assassin, not merely of innocent
babyhood in far-off Bethlehem, but as
the incarnate foe of the race, who. in
killing the child, would have killed
Christmas.
"But what of him who would ef
fectually let Christmas perish by let
ting its holy Inspirations die, as far
as act or aid of his serves to keep
them alivo? Wny execrate him who
kills, and hold no brief against him
whose ntglect. if not supplemented by
the ctevot'ons of others, would as ef
fectually kill? Without Christianity,
Christmas would perish: without or
ganised Christianity this were true.
"Christ has won one day out of
;ill our 3:5, when we feel the shame
at the meanness of selfishness: but it
is the persistence of his ideal upon
some of us for the other 364 which
flowers In all of us on December 25.
'Herod tried to kill the babe; Judas
connived with his murderers to kill
the man. Fit company, these two.
Neither the one nor the two of them
sufficed to kill what God had chosen
to live.
'Christmas is the average man's
struggle to enioy a bit of holiday
with his-better self. Multitudes keep
vh;n religion they have alive between
twenty-fifths of December by the sur
rer.d'.r to that one day's sheer impulse
ot' better-selfhood."
CHILDREN'S WAY IS PRAISED
Innocent Characteristics Are Dis
cussed by Rev. E. Constant.
Lessons which may be learned from
oiiildren were pointed out by Rev.
Edward Constant, pastor of Highland
Oion pre ga 1 1 o n al church, yesterday
morning in a sermon on "The Christ
mas Angel."
"The Christmas angel comes to us
with a message and introduces us to
childhood." said Rev. Constant. "He is
a poor, withered, little soul who never
has communion with the child. The
artless prattle of the little one Is
often better for us than the wisdom
of the sage. Many times we think we
see God in the man. Sometimes he is
more clearly seen in tho child. The
weak infant voice seems to say, God
is h-'re.'
"No child should be lightly thought
oX- The potentialities are vast. The
cttild may be one of God's chosen. Let
It have a fair chance. For every child
ther' should be equality or oppor
tunity. We must not be influenced in
our attitude toward the child by what (
we call pedigree. Men say 'blood
tells.' True, but the grace of God ,
tell.s for more than blood. The off
spring of the very lowly may cause
some to blush who trace their an
cestry to the old Virginia planters or
the Mayflower or beyond.
"The man Jesus never lost the
child-like characteristics. He was al
ways natural, simple, trustful, hope
ful. Joyful. A morose character could
never have been the savior of men.
It is the child-like man, we must re
member, who finds his way into the
kingdom, of heaven."
DEATH PENALTY IS UPHELD
Laws of Moses Not Modified by
Jesus, Says Rev. G. H. Bennett.
"Christ and Criminal Daws" was the
subject under which Rev. George H.
Bennett, pastor of the Patton Metho
dist church discussed capital punish
ment yesterday morning.
"Uhder the laws of Moses capital
punishment was plainly the penalty
for murder," said R5V. Mr. Bennett.
"This penalty was inflicted, even
though the murderer found refuge at
the altar or in a city of refuge. The
death penalty was even inflicted upon
animals responsible for the death of
persons. Other crimes, or felonies,
were subject to capital punishment
under Mosaic law: Striking or revil
ing a parent, blasphemy. Sabbath
breaking, withchraft, adultery, un
chastity, rape. Incest, man-stealing,
idolatry and false swearing. Capital ,
punishment according to Mosaic law
was inflicted by stoning, hanging,
burning or by the sword. Thus did
the laws of Moses deal with telonies
In the sermon on the mount Jesus
. , i i-.
did not annul the Mosaic law against
murder or any other felony, for lie
said, "I came not to destroy the law
of prophets, but to fulfill.' Moreover,
he declared the laws of Moses against
murder and adultery applied not only
to the overt acts, but also to the
motives of hatred and lust. He did
not weaken those laws, much less an
nul them. He made them even more
rigid by his interpretation. Jesus did
not annul capital punishment for
these felonies. He made them more
exacting still, for he said. 'Till heaven
and earth pass away one Jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass away from
the law till all be fulfilled.'
"When Jesus said to the mob, 'Let
him without sin among you first cast
a stone at her," he was not rebuking
the law or penalty against her felony.
He was rebuking mob rule and lynch
law. Jesus was not a legally-constituted
Judge, hence he could not pass
sentence upon her, so he said, 'Neither
do I condemn thee. Go and sin no
more.' This was all he could say, as
he was only a private citizen, not a
Judge. He stood for the legal
processes of law."
CONVERSION' OF ALL IS URGED
Rev. E. E." Flint Discusses "The
Owned and Disowned Jesus."
"The Owned and Disowned Jesus"
or "The Christ of Conscience," was
Rev. Elbert E. Flint's Christmas ser
mon topic yesterday morning at Atkin
son Memorial Congregational church.
"The disowning of Jesus Christ is
the blackest chapter in the world's
history." said Rev. Mr. Flint. "The
acknowledgment of God in Jesus
Christ, in the life of one called Saul
of Tarsus is to give to the world the
most brilliant and lasting example
of human Influence known in history.
The conscious adoption by mankind
of a life programme of Jesus Christ
as revealed in the gospels is to own
him and enthrone him in conscience.
This Is the nearest approach to a
sensible and divine conception of
what a right true child of God should
be that I can think of.
"It is goodness the world needs
to bring it to an end, not wickedness.
The world did not come to a sudden
end the other day, as some expected.
I don t believe the creator of the uni
verse intended his world to end up in
a catastrophe. God wants this world
put in order rather than broken up
when it comes to an end. He wants
It cleansed and purified and redeemed
in the souls of men as well as in the
soul of the world. There never was a
day of such great opportunity for
bringing a kingdom of 'good will'
and 'peace' among men and pro
claiming the mighty God the everlast
ing" father that centered in the man
ger of Bethlehem 2000 years ago as
his Christmas of 1919."
SOUL'S DELUSION ANALYZED
God Declared Not Too Lofty to
Meet Man on All Occasions.
"It has always been the soul's de
lusion that God being so high and
holy, will meet man only on state
occasions," said Dr. H. H. Griffis, pas
tor of the First Christian church
yesterday morning. "But the manger-cradle
of the Christ child was
God's way of correcting this error,
Just as Christ's whole after-life was
given to the revelation of God's pres
ence in the common things of earth.
What a startling disillusionment it
must have been to those wise men
from the east who had been searching
the heavens for God to find Him at
last in a stable!
"Looking at the portrait of Jesus
in Its entirety we must confess that
there is no other quality that stands
out more characteristically than his
commonness.
"When the multitudes gathered
about him and sought by force to
make him a king, he quickly eluded
their grasp. When his enemies re
quested of him a sign, he pointed
them to current events a"nd advised
them to study the signs of the times.
The truth is that the most extraor
dinary thing about Jesus 'was his
moral success in living a very com
mon life. Stripped of all the doc
trinal interpretations with which
theology has clothed him. his life was
that of a common man going divinely
about perfectly common tasks."
BOLSHEVIKI CURE ADVOCATED
Rev. L. K. Dickson Declares Word
of God Would Allay Ills.
Bolshevism may best be fought by
the word of God. according to Rev.
L K. Dickson, who spoke last night
on "The Decalogue Is It Anti-Gospel?"
in Chrlstensen's hall.
"The hardest blow which could be
given to bolshevlsm and anarchism in
the world at the present time would
be for the church of Jesus Christ to
reinstate the law of God. the deca
logue, in the hearts and minds of the
people," he said. "This would be the
most potent means of reconstruction,
even as one noted newspaper cor
respondent, himself in the midst of
the chaotic conditions of the old
world, wrote recently, 'Things have
gone wrong because the nations and
people have departed from this law.
They will never go right until na
tions and people have the clarity of
vision and the courage to return to
the keeping of the ten words spoken
on Sinai. They are the best barrier
to bolshevism. They are the surest
remedy for caste, injustices. Thev
are, so far as I can see from this
height of solitude and contemplation,
the only way out.'"
From China has been obtained the
"water chestnut," the tubers of which
eaten raw or in stews are a source
of much gratification to the palates
of pigtailed epicures. They are aisu
sliced and shredded for soups.
ASSETS TREBLED IN
EIGHT-YEAR PERIOD
Growth of Pacific States
Fire Insurance Rapid.
NEW OFFICES PREPARED
Company Proposes Expending Sam
of $2 0,00 in Remodeling
Former Pythian Home.
Growth of the Pacific States Fire
Insurance company to a point where
it is fast becoming one of Oregon's
most Important home Industries is
shown in the figures given out by T.
Et Williams, executive of the com
pany, recently In connection with the
announcement that the company had
purchased the former Knights of
Pythias home at the corner of Elev
enth and Alder streets and would be
gin at once the work of remodeling
v. , , . . -.
l'or a me omce.
The company now has off ces n the
second floor of the Title & Trust co
pany building, but has outgrown Its
quarters there and needs much great
er facilities for carrying on Its in
creased volume of work.
The sum of $20,000 will be spent at
once In remodeling the structure, the
entire front up to the second story
being built over to make room for
large plate glass windows. Copper
and tile trimmings will be used, simi
lar to the best of bank quarters. The
basement will also be remodeled to
make room for supplies. It Is the In
tention of the company ultimately to
erect a handsome office building on
that corner, using the lower floors
as headquarters.
Company's Growth Rapid.
From comparatively small begin
nings in 1911 the Pacific States Fire
Insurance company has grown, par
ticularly during the last three or four
years, until its assets now are ap
proaching the million-dollar mark.
Figures given out by Mr. Williams
show that the assets of the company
have grown from $288,160 In 1911 to
$940,767 in 1919. Premiums have In
creased In like proportion from $45.
S20 in 1911 to $329,320.85 in 1918. For
the first nine months in 1919 pre
miums received broke all records of
the company, exceeding the total re
ceipts of the year before by $35,000.
The figure is " 1.232.
Mr. Williams, who took charge on
December 1. 1916. has directed trie in
surance company through a phenom
enal period of growth, the surplus In
creasing under his guidance from
$34 109 in 1916 to $354,000 in 1919.
Nearly all assets of the company are
being invested in government, state
and municipal bonds of various kinds,
and property mortgages are being
cut down in favor of the other surer
investments. The company still owns
the Gordon hotel, purchased early this
fall as a future home of the company
but given up later in favor of the
Inlghts of Pythias location. It also
owns other city property, and plans
to dispose of these holdings to con
solidate all assets In bonds and gold
edged securities.
Incorporated Value $300,000.
The company, which is the only fire
insurance s-tock company in the north
west, is incorporated for $300,000 and
has 26 office employes, in addition to
field representatives and traveling
executives. The territory throughout
which it Is now writing fire Insurance
embraces Oregon. California, Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana and Nevada.
Plans for the most comprehensive
display of Oregon-made goods ever
shown at a lower Columbia river

New Manager Arrives.
S. A P.ousall. for many years em
ployed in responsible positions by
iron and steel concerns of the middle
west, has arrived In Portland to be
the new manager of the Portland Iron
works. Mr. Bousall was with the
Buckeye Engine company of Salem
O., for many years, entering the serv-
ice of the company as a machinist
apprentice. He soon became a Jour
neyman machinist and then contrac
tor In one department, where ne in
stalled Jigs for drilling and machin
ing various duplicate parts, these be
ing probably the first Jigs put in
operation west of the Allegheny
mountains. He severed his connection
with the Ohio concern a year ago to
oome west wth his family.
One of the first Portland plants to
hold a Joint Christmas programme of
employes was the Portland Rubber
mills, all the workers of which gath
ered Saturday night at the factory at
Macadam and Nevada streets and en
Joyed an old-fashioned Santa Claus
event. A great tree reaching clear to
the roof of the building had been set
up and was artistically decorated with
electric lights and Christmas tinsel.
WINDJAMMER SPEEDY ONE
COAST TO SYDNEY" RUN MADE
IN" 53 DAYS.
Schooner Camano Earns Title of
Speed Queen of Present Pa
cific Sailing Fleet.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 21. (Spe
cial.) After reeling off one of the
smartest passages from the coast to
Australia ever made by a sailing ves
sel, the topsail' schooner Camano,
owned by Henry G. Seaborn of Seat
tle, arrived at Sydney December 21,
53 days out from Bellingham, a cable
gram from the antipodes announced
yesterday. So far as can be learned
from a hasty search of the records
here and In San Francisco, this is the
best time ever made by a schooner to
Australia.
The performance, in any event,
gives the Camano the title of speed
queen of the present Pacific sailing
fleet, no other -windjammer new in
operation on the western ocean hav
ing come within striking distance of
her record.
Early last fall the vessel came to
port with her hull badly "hogged"
amidships, another way of saying the
vessel had fallen below plumb fore
and aft.
At that time she was owned by Bal
four, Guthrie & Co. Mr. Seaborn
bought the schooner and restored her
hull to Its original lines by a daring
experiment In the Skinner & fc,duy
i drydock
tie did not etop there. The Camano
was a "bald-headed" schooner. Mr.
Seaborn yanked out her masts and
put in new ones, with topmasts that
raked the sky. Then he rigged her
with acres of canvas. The .Camano
carried a full cargo of lumber from
Bellingham for Sydney.

annoying, distressing , cough
that results from constant effort
to clear a "tickling" throat or even
the deep, heavy, wrenching cough thsl ac
companies a bad cold; you can relieve spas
modic croup, whooping cough, la grippe and .
bronchial coughs by taking
Foley's
Honey and Tar
COMPOUND
Do not accept a substitute. The
curative influence of pine tar and the
balmy, laxative effect of honey are so well
known that there are many imitations of
the genuine Foley's Honey and Tar Com
pound on the market, but imitation! lack the
scientific blending and other healing ingredi
ents found exclusively in Foley'.
The First Dose Gave Relief
C. E. Summers. Holdredtfe. Neb., writes: "Some
time sgo 1 contracted a very severe couch and cold dus
o exposure. My cough got so bad I could hardly alee
for two or three nights. A friend of mine recommended
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound, and I Cot a 00c bottle.
The very first dose relieved me. 1 took a second dose
before going" to bed and can truthfully ssy 1 did not
couch once sll night. By using ss directed the next two
days my cough wss entirely gone, and I give Foley's
Honey and Tar full credit for soy speedy and permanent
recovery."
Prompt steps should be taken to check
coughing at night. It not only weakeni the
sufferer, but it is troublesome to other mem
bers of the family. Loss of sleep and nervous
drain quickly wear out the afflicted one, and
he or she soon is in no condition to ward off
attack of mote dangerous sickness.
